BELLA GAIA (Beautiful Earth) is a 'Living Atlas' 
multimedia journey of our world, and expresses 
the deeply moving beauty of planet Earth as seen 
through the eyes of astronauts by successfully 
simulating space flight. Collaborating with NASA, 
BELLA GAIA is a new immersive theater experience, 
a portal for an audience to develop a deeper 
connection and empathy with our planet Earth. 
Created by award winning director and classically 
trained violinist

Williams, BELLA GAIA features a 45 minute live 
performance by Kenji with  orbiting 
visualizations of Earth from space.
From fires in the Amazon basin to time-lapse 
images of the Arctic ice melt, the stunning 
orbital imagery created by SCISS' Uniview 
software and NASA, provides an exquisite 
simulation of the astronaut's view from space. 
Multicultural experiences are also part of BELLA 
GAIA, through earthbound journeys from exotic 
Japanese temples to Egyptian pyramids, featuring 
a footage from the Laya project.
The vision of BELLA GAIA is to bring the power of 
art, technology, space science, and real 
scientific data visualizations together, into a 
context that is both entertaining and 
educational, fused with a common goal of raising 
the awareness and appreciation of our home 
planet. BELLA GAIA can actually visually display 
how we humans are affecting the planet, and how 
each element affects the other, allowing the 
audience to easily understand the delicate 
interconnected balance of our planet.
BELLA GAIA is a powerful entertainment and 
educational outreach vehicle for planetariums, 
science centers, universities, government 
agencies and other institutions that wish to 
convey a broader world view that the destiny of 
humans and our planet Earth are inextricably 
linked. Featured at the IPS 2008 International 
Planetarium Society conference, at top festivals 
such as the Smithsonian Folklife/NASA festival, 
NASA 50th anniversary and DLN programming, and to 
sold-out shows at digital planetariums, BELLA 
GAIA has delighted audiences from Europe to the 
USA to Japan, and has proven to engage a wide 
demographic from 3 year-olds, to students, to 
heads of government agencies.
